The North Otago town is celebrating its 150th anniversary this weekend.
Duntroon and District Development Association chairman Owen King said organisers had been "humming" with all the preparation.
Since they did not ask people to register, it was difficult to know what kind of turnout they should expect, he said.
"It could be anywhere between 150 to 250. That’s what we’ve sort of catered for but we’ve got things in place if we do get blown out with huge amounts."
The day event is jam-packed with activities.
An arts and crafts market will be held from 10am tomorrow while the Duntroon Hall will also be open from the same time displaying photos and media illustrating the history of the town.
Saturday will also see the inaugural heritage trail tour.
Attendees will be shown six historical sites around the town and there will also be a horse-drawn carriage accompanying the tour.
The following day will begin with an 11.30am service at St Martin’s Church followed by the planting of a totara tree to mark the occasion.
The weekend’s festivities will then conclude with a luncheon and cake cutting in the Duntroon Hall.
Vanished World Centre, Nicol’s Blacksmith shop and the Duntroon Hotel will all be open over the two days.
